Norwalk City’s Public Works Committee voted at its February 2025 meeting to schedule a public hearing on an honorary street-naming request and approved a set of administrative actions including an easement, referrals and contract extensions.
The committee set a public hearing for Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at 7 p.m. via Zoom to consider renaming a portion of Woodward Avenue in honor of the late Reverend Ramon Figueroa. The committee also authorized the mayor to accept a stormwater easement, referred the easement to Planning & Zoning for review, and approved contract amendments and new agreements for surveying, roadway repairs, pavement markings and continued stormwater engineering support.

Why it matters
The items approved are routine administrative steps that allow construction, maintenance and planning work to proceed: the easement secures city access for previously installed storm infrastructure; contract extensions maintain on‑call technical capacity for surveying, pavement work and markings; and the CDM Smith amendment advances a more detailed feasibility phase for a potential stormwater utility. Scheduling a public hearing begins the formal city process for the honorary street‑naming petition so the community may comment.
Procedural notes
Where the record does not name a motion mover or give a formal roll‑call tally, this article records outcomes described during the meeting. The transcript shows no final council vote on the honorary naming — only a committee‑level scheduling of a public hearing. Several motions were described as unanimous “among those present.”
Ending
The committee moved from votes into standing reports on trees, solid waste and capital metrics after completing the listed actions and then adjourned.
